4. Problems We Had To Overcome
First, we don't have experience of taking part in game, previously, we have never heard of have international high school student's web page match. In 2006, we know something after Taole Fist High School getting prize for their “Ningxia Food Interview”. This semester, under the Gong teacher's introduction and publicity of Xian Xiang Wan Cai, we understand it, register to attend the web page match, and become the role gradually. Secondly, our interview and research usually meet difficulties. Our instruction teacher's workload in the school is very big. During school time, the teacher can't take us to go out to interview, investigate. We can only make use of limited weekends. We do not explaint it to headmaster, for we are afraid that he thinks us do something useless. Arriving at the Tianzhou Ancient Tower at the first time, the manager in the tower doesn't allow us to enter. After the teacher’coordination, we just fulfill our wish. Again, time is short. When we know that we can attend this match, it is already mid- October. At that time, we even do not know what it is. After reaan ancient cooking vessel the notice repeartedly and communication with Miss Liu Na, we know something about it. Then to form our team, after analysingthe school difficulties and local characteristics, also referring to the works of 2006 and 2007 matches, we decided our subject as historic monument. After thinking, our thinkings are clear and begin works. The fourth, difficulties on communication with Xian Xiang Wan Cai. Our group can only communicate with Li Na zhang Wang Jun. For the limitation on internet, communication is difficult. We can only communicate with them in Mr. Gong’s home. Sometimes, some problems can not solved. Everytime, Mr Gong uses his own telephone to communicate with us. The fifth, going and seeing are difficult. While preparing the material of 'the words on Pingluo', we go to national AAA class Sand Lake. On arriving, we are scared by the high entering price RMB 80Yuan.We try to find information on internet. For the materials related to Pingluo are a lot, at last we adopt a “bad” plan. Every time, we go out, we bring convenience noodle and cake with us as lunch.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
There is no difficult thing in the world, as long as you want to work hard on it, everything can be achieved. We believe this match can benefit us a lot.
